TUNNELING THROUGH SNOW.
Fifteen Hundred Passengers Snow Bound on
the Line of the Intercolonal Railway.

ST. JOHN, n B., April IA dispatch from
Moncton contains news of the stalled trains on
the northern division of the Intercolcnial rail
way. A break has been made from St F.avien
to Campbellton, and two blocked trains between
those points working their way out through
a tunnel of snow. Fully 1,500 pas
sengers including 700 immigrants, are
halted on the route. The railway authorities
are straining every nerve to get food to the pas
seneers and the 1.500 workmen who are trying
to dig them out. One train ia at River DuLoup,
another at St. Luce and another at St. Flavien,
Sir Charles and Lady Tupper being passengers
the last named.
These trains were carrying all northern mails
since last Thursday from Prince Edward Island,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. and at ST. Fshr
vien seven mail clerks are guarding them. Fully
half the conductors. baggage masters and ex-
press managers on the line are hemmed in at
this point.
A dispatch from New Castle five hours ride
from Moncton. says the Quebec night train, the
first that has passed the New Brunswick border
since Friday last, has worked its way through.

FOOD ADULTERATION.

Comparative Purity of Butter Before the
Oleomar=arine Law Went Into Effect.
WAsHINGToN. April 1.-The popular notions
with respect to the extent of the practice of but
ter adulteration, before the oeomargarine law
went into effect, will not be sustained by the
forthcoming report of Professor Wiley, the
chemist of the Department of Agriculture, on
this subject. Professor Wiley's experiments
have been progressing more than year. The
materials for the investigation were purchased
in open market in all parts of the country, no
intimation being given in any case of the pur-
pose for which the purchase was intended. In
not more than one-third of the cases did the
purchase prove to be an adulteration or imitA-
ton, except when something else than butter
was asked for and the fraudulent articles were
almost uniformly those secured when low-priced
materials were called for. In no instance was it
found that article sold in the market as but
ter entirely fraudulent. The adulterated
articles usually contained between 30 and 40 per
cent of pure butter, the remainder most com
monty consisting Of beef fa., lard and cotton
seed oil
Professor Wiley devotes some space to the con-
sderation of the opinions of scientific men with
regard to the wholesomeness of oleomargarine
and kindred compounds. He finds that about
nine our of every ten of the scientists who have
expressed themselves declare a belief that prop
wholesome The larger and more I'm portant part
of this report is devoted TO the analysis of dairy
products and their substitutes, and to the meth
DDS of detecting adulterations The chemists
opportunities for investigation were greater than
have ever before been afforded and the result is

portant subject The conclusion is reached that
the microscope is much more useful instru-
ment In this direction than European chemists
have ever been willing admit. and is. in fact
invaluable adjunct to the chemical laboratory

SAYS: IF this bill should be made law tenants
would not be relieved until fhey declare they
are unable to pay the rents demanded of them
Probably three hundred thousand tenants IN
Ireland would make this declaration. This
would give each judge $4,000 rent adjustment
cases to take care Of and it would take years to
dispose of them. Meanwhile the landlords
would obtain nothing. The bill offered by Par
nell is mercy itself to landlords compared with
this measure
Michael Davitt halls the bill as certain to
make confusion worse confouEded, and, there
fore. likely TO bring the only possible and
final solution of the whole auestion-Irish state
ownership of land in Ireland.
The Freemans Journal SAYS Lord Cadogan's
bill admits two principles, FOR unfolding which
the National League has been condemned, but
declares that the Lords proposals, if carried
out, would simply protect the work of eviction.

A PHYSICIANS INFATUATION.
Deserving his Wife and Eloping with
Clergymans Daughter.

ENFIELD N H., April This community
has been aeitated during the past two weeks by
the elopnent of a rising young physician and a
noted belle. Dr. Frank c. Manchester is twenty
five years DID, a Dartmouth graduate, and son
of DR.. G. w. Manchester, of Lebanon. a leading
physician of this part of the State. A year or
two ago he married Minnie Tarbell. an estimable
young lady. aud the union mas been supposed to
be one of great happiness. The young doctor
settled in TINS village. built up large practice
in short time. and was very popular. A few
months ago he sent his wife visit while
some repairs being made in the house. and
during her absence the doctor boarded at the
Daydawn Hotel Here he met Miss May Marvin,
forty years old, although looking at least ten
years younger. Miss Marvin is the daugh-
ter of a noted Massachusetts clergy
man, and has been married, but was
subsequently, divorced, obtaining a large sum of
alimony. She has boarded at the Daydawn for
a long time, and conducted herself with the
strictest propriety. She is a brilliant woman in
every way and dressed in striking yet perfectly
tasteful costumes. She and the young Doctor
soon became intimate and much gossip was oc
casioned but young Mrs. Manchester suspected
nothing.
On March the Doctor informed his wife that
he going out West to look up place in
which to locate and bade her an affection ate
goodbye. The next day a Lebanon man saw the
Doctor and Miss Marvin together in Boston, and
came home and reported the fact. Those who
had been observing events were not greatly sur
prised, but the blow fell like thunder-bolt upon
Mrs Manchester. and she could hardly believe
the truth.
1t seems that Miss Marvin before going away
drew 81, 700 from bank. and took with her all
her jewelry and finery. Nothing has been heard
from her since the day after the elopement, but
the Doctor appeared unexpectedly last Friday
paid all his debts in Enfield, and departed as
quickly as he came Mrs. Manchester has taken
no steps for legal separation and SAYS she will
gladly forgive her recreaDt spouse If he will re-
turn the whereabouts of the eloping couple is
